: : That's fine but this guy's "handle" fits his attitude (yelling & screaming at someone all in caps) which SUCKS. He's gonna find out real fast that I take $#!T from NO ONE. NOT EVER for ANY REASON. And he's lucky he's behind his keyboard because I'd smack him in the mouth & send his ass home...
: Let me tell you something TL.. you dont know me or my attitude. i read your other posting where you claim not to be a redneck.
: from what i read you arent a very civil person.
: but anyhow. im new to this board. i did not come here to get into a fight with anyone. TL, you picked this one. anyone can read the whole thread and see clearly that YOU instigated the name calling and unpleasantries.
: i apologize to all for posting in caps. i simply did that because the bodies of other letters, in the thread were included. i simply wanted mine to stand out. i didnt realize it would be misconstrued as yelling.
: i rarely write in caps anyhow. i apologize.
: but not to TL. i have absolutely nothing to apologize for him for.
: i wish this incident had never happened. i cant believe it did.
: i actually like hot rods and customs. a 347 stroker kit sounds good to me. im a firm believer in "to each his own" anyhow.
: maybe my posting was untimely or off subject... but it never insulted anyone. the information was accurate. too bad some are unwilling to consider someone elses perspective.
: i apologize to everyone else for carrying on with a lunatic.
: once ive been slapped.. its my instinct to slap back harder. if an idiot wants to sling insults and threats, i am quite able to defend myself. both at and away from the keyboard.
: TL, i didnt slam you this time. i really want out of this stupid arguement. i will not continue this any longer.
: i would like to be able to post here and make friends as i have on other boards. but its kinda rough when the 1st person you meet wants to rough you over.
: i have a maverick and an opinion. you dont have to take my opinion as fact or insult.
: please let me post on this board in peace.
: later
I've come in on the tail end of this "debate", but you sound like a gentleman to me Roadrage. This board is here to learn from and to pass on information on our hobby. Hang in.
